The Wacker Neuson is a genuine OEM Exhaust Gasket designed for VP and AP series single-direction vibratory plate compactors. This includes the VP1340R, VP1340RW, VP1550R, VP1550RW, VP2050R, VP2050RW, and AP1550R — covering both standard and asphalt-configured plate models. As a genuine OEM component, the is manufactured to the same specification as the part that left the factory, ensuring a correct seal between the exhaust port and manifold. Keep a spare on hand and you'll have the right part when routine service or an exhaust leak demands it.
Key Features
- OEM-Spec Sealing Material — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's original material and compression specifications, so the exhaust port seals properly under operating heat and pressure cycles.
- Drop-In Fitment — Matches the original bolt pattern and port profile on the VP and AP series engines, making installation straightforward with no trimming or modification.
- Broad VP and AP Series Coverage — Fits VP1340R, VP1340RW, VP1550R, VP1550RW, VP2050R, VP2050RW, and AP1550R vibratory plate compactors in a single part number.
- Prevents Exhaust Leaks at the Source — A properly seated exhaust gasket keeps combustion gases routed correctly, protecting nearby components from heat damage and maintaining engine back-pressure.
- Exhaust Integrity Is a Safety Consideration — A failed exhaust gasket allows hot gases to escape near fuel lines, filters, and operator zones. Replacing a worn gasket promptly reduces burn and fire risk during operation.
The exhaust gasket forms a heat-resistant seal between the engine's exhaust port and the exhaust manifold or muffler assembly. Its job is to contain combustion gases and direct them safely through the exhaust path without leaking. When the gasket deteriorates — through heat cycling, compression loss, or physical damage — exhaust gases escape at the joint, which can cause audible blowing noises, rough running, overheating of surrounding components, and exposure of operators to exhaust fumes. Replacing a failed exhaust gasket restores proper exhaust flow and protects the engine and surrounding hardware from prolonged heat stress.
